Tape Cailb Help! run at +3 with 355nwb/m MRL
Hi all. Got a client coming in that wants to run my JH-24 at +3/250 but I only have an MRL that's 355 nwb/m +6. Whereabouts would I want to set my meters on Repro at +3/250 type setting using my 355 nwb/m MRL? Do I cailbrate to -3 on the vu in Repro? Thanks!

Yes, I believe you're right. If your calibration tape is +6, set repro to -3 to end up at +3.

The Tape Op book (volume 2 I think) has a handy calibration chart that's helped me out A LOT. Even with the original manual for my Tascam and an MRL tape, I still referenced that chart. I think I saw a PDF of it online, but it's definitely worth buying the book.
